Fairly common problem - kids pulling impatiently on the door handle while you press the unlock button on the keyfob - been there, done that...

It's not terribly difficult to replace the lock mechanism yourself. Here's a writeup:

This writeup also describes a fix for the old lock - the problem is usually a little red plastic tab that breaks off - but I wouldn't bother with this - looks a bit unreliable. You can get the lock mechanism new for less than $100 if you shop around. I got one from this Volvo dealer selling them through eBay:

IMO, $200 per door quoted by dealer is reasonable *if* that includes the labor to install them. Sucks, but it's the price you pay for conveniences like central locking.
